YMMV: Crash Bandicoot 1996
  • Scrappy Mechanic: You can only save your game by completing bonus stages and collecting gems....forcing you to find the tokens to find a bonus stage/collect a gem. You also cannot replay a bonus stage in order to save; if you finished it, you're out of luck. The password system helps matters, but not by much, and is needlessly long and complicated.
  • That One Level: Sunset Vista. Clearing it is fairly challenging. Getting the gem, much more so. Remember: To get the Gem, one must destroy every crate and not die after reaching a Checkpoint Crate. Also, this is one of only two levels with a Cortex bonus level, which are hard and mandatory for 100%.
    • Slippery Climb, which also suffers from Checkpoint Starvation.
    • Slippery Climb had another level called "Stormy Ascent" in its style that was Dummied Out because it was too difficult.
    • Toxic Waste. You must avoid barrels that are thrown down the path by the other members of Pinstripe's mafia, and there are very few areas where you can hide from the barrels. It gets worse later on in the level, in which bouncing barrels are being thrown as well, and it takes lots of practice to memorize their patterns and where you can hide from them without being flattened.
